Hello Konrads, are you around? this is getting interesting and me tea`s nearly ready! Where did you get wind of a Pentax W90?

Cedric

Had a good look round and I can`t find it either. Lots of other W90 items but nowt from Pentax.

Cedric

I am not expecting too much from a P & S or from a repair shop. A simple acknowledgement of receipt would help. I have a 3mp Olympus 350 P & S which gives superb results still. I would expect Pentax with a new model to at least equal it for quality. I think we accept too much without complaining, the British attitude you know. Grin and bear it, put up with it. All that sort of guff! It`s not having a problem that`s a problem it`s how the problem is dealt with that`s the issue.

Cedric

So did a Sony I have, received confirmation of receipt two days after I sent it and I did not have to pay for postage and insurance either. All the W80 info I have found on the net indicates the W80 has poor image quality. If Pentax have superceded it with a new version because of this I will fast track a letter to the local trading standards people. I feel sure those immortal words of "unfit for purpose" will have an effect.

Cedric

Not impressed with the W80, Pentax advised sending it to Johnsons for repair possible sensor issue. Not bad for new kit. Personally I would not go anywhere near another Pentax P & S. But the K10 & K20 are never too far away. By the way Johnsons have yet to acknowledge receipt, pretty poor service all round I think. It`s a dull wet day, it`s been a heavy week.

Cedric

Welcome it`s good to have both of you here again. Thank you.

Cedric

Best wishes to you all Matt. I hope you are all prepared for what lies ahead. As an outsider it`s difficult to imagine life (and death) on this sort of scale. I can`t offer any advice except don`t be afraid of using your camera in all situations, remember your own humanity.

Cedric

Welcome Tommy, glad to have you on the forum. Have some wonderful pictures and memories from Southern Norway.

Cedric

Hi Amin, thanks for that. Quite amazing stuff, wondered how it was going to end up. Wonder what the Red Arrows could do? perhaps Britannia.

Best wishes

Cedric

Just a straw clutching thing but are the terminals on the battery and in the camera clean. Careful what you use, cottonbuds on there own can be effective. Stear clear of liquids like WD40. Good luck.
